General Information
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing ZTE-J G380 GoTa digital trunking phone. To guarantee the mobile
phone always in its best condition, please read this manual carefully and keep it for further use.
Security
To protect your mobile phone from illegal use, take the security measures as follows:
• Set PIN codes of the UIM card.
• Set handset lock code.
Safety Precautions
This section includes some important information on safe and efficient operation. Please read this
information before using the phone.
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
The actual SAR level of an operating device can be well below the maximum value because the
device is designed to use only the power required to reach the network. That amount changes
depending on a number of factors such as how close you are to a network base station.
The highest SAR value when tested acc ording to internati onal testing proced ures
recommended by International Guidelines for Exposure to Radio Waves (ICNIRP) for use is
2.00 W/kg.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band.
ZTE-J G380 GoTa Digital Trunking Phone User Manual

Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values.
Note: The SAR limit of 2W/kg averaged over ten grams of tissue is the permitted level of RF
energy for the general population. The standards and guidelines include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of the public, regardless of age and health and to account for
any variations in measurements.
Operational Precautions
• Please use your phone properly. When making or answering a call, please hold your phone as
holding a wire line telephone. Make sure that the phone is at least one inch (two point five
centimeters) from your body when transmitting.
• Do not touch the antenna area when the phone is in use. Touching the antenna area affects call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed (note: the
antenna area of this mobile phone is near the upper part).
• Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing
lights, such as when watching television or playing video games. If you have experienced
seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences, please consult your
doctor before playing video games on your phone or enabling a flashing-light feature on your
phone. (The flashing-light feature is not available on all products.)
• Keep the phone out of the reach of small children. The phone may cause injury if used as a toy.
Precautions While Driving
• Please pay attention to the traffic safety. Check the laws and regulations on the use of your phone
in the area where you drive. Always obey them.
• Use hands-free function of the phone, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if conditions require.

Precautions for Medical Devices and Facilities
• When using your phone near pacemakers, please always keep the phone more than eight inches
(twenty centimeters) from the pacemaker when the phone is switched on. Do not carry the phone in
the breast pocket. Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
Switch off the phone immediately if necessary.
• Some phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
consult your hearing aids manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
• If you use any other personal medical device, please consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy.
• In those facilities with special demand, such as hospital or health care facilities, please pay
attention to the restriction on the use of mobile phone. Switch off your phone if required.
Mobile Phone
• Please use original accessories or accessories approved by the phone manufacturer. Using any
unauthorized accessories may affect your mobile phone’s performance, damage your phone or
even cause danger to your body and violate related local regulations about telecom terminals.
• Turn off your phone before you clean it. Use a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the phone. Do not
use a dry cloth or electrostatically charged cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as
these could damage the phone.
• As your mobile phone can produce electromagnetic field, do not place it near magnetic items such
as computer disks.
• Using the phone near electrical appliances such as TV, telephone, radio and personal
computer can cause interference.
• Do not expose your mobile phone to direct sunlight or store it in hot areas. High temperatures can
shorten the life of electronic devices.
• Keep your phone dry. Any liquid may damage your phone.
• Do not drop, knock or harshly treat the phone. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.
ZTE-J G380 GoTa Digital Trunking Phone User Manual

• Do not connect the phone with any incompatible enhancement.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the mobile phone or battery.
• Do not store the phone with flammable or explosive articles.
• Do not charge the mobile phone without battery.
Loud Noise
This phone is capable of producing loud noise which may damage your hearing. Turn down the
volume before using earphones or other audio devices.
Precautions for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
• Switch off your phone prior to entering any area with potentially explosive atmospheres, such as
fueling areas, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
• Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Spark in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
• To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, switch off your phone when you are near
electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted “Turn off electronic devices”. Obey all
signs and instructions.
Precautions for Electronic Devices
• Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference sent by mobile phone
if inadequately shielded, such as electronic system of vehicles. Please consult the manufacturer
of the device before using the phone if necessary.
Safety and General Use in Vehicles
• Safety airbag, brake, speed control system and oil eject system shouldn’t be affected by
wireless transmission. If you do meet problems above, please contact your automobile
provider. Do not place your phone in the area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment area.
Airbags inflate with great force. If a phone is placed in the airbag deployment area and the airbag
ZTE-J G380 GoTa Digital Trunking Phone User Manual

inflates, the phone may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the
vehicle.
• Please turn off your mobile phone at a refueling point, and the same to the place where the use of
two-way radio is prohibited.
Aircraft Safety
• Please turn off your mobile phone before the airplane takes off. In order to protect airplane’s
communication system from interference, it is forbidden to use mobile phone in flight. Safety
regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane
is on the ground.
• If the mobile phone has the function of automatic timing power-on, please check your alarm setting
to make sure that your phone will not be automatically turned on during flight.
Battery Use
• Do not short-circuit the battery, as this can cause the unit to overheat or ignite.
• Do not store battery in hot areas or throw it into fire. Otherwise, it will cause explosion.
• Do not disassemble or refit the battery. Otherwise, it will cause liquid leakage, overheating,
explosion and ignition of the battery.
• Please store the battery in a cool dry place if you don’t use it for a long period.
• The battery can be recharged for hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the
operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to replace
it with a new one.
• Please stop using the charger and battery when they are damaged or show evidence of aging.
• Return the worn-out battery to the provider or dispose of it in accordance with environment
regulations. Do not dispose of it in household rubbish.
• Only use the original batteries. Using any unauthorized battery may affect your handset
performance or may cause danger of explosion, etc.
